Park-like privacy and considerable potential make a powerful pairing at this cinematic 12.4-hectare property in Fernside, where an established country estate comes with the valuable advantage of subdivision consent.
Already approved for subdivision into three evenly sized parcels, the property puts a defined future pathway alongside the exceptional lifestyle it delivers today.
A tree-lined driveway makes an impressive approach through mature gardens and spectacular grounds, setting the residence within a landscape of breathtaking natural beauty.
Spacious and modernised while retaining its classic character, the home carries Otago schist from exterior feature work to a striking fireplace in the formal lounge, while the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living is immersed in natural light and garden outlooks, with direct outdoor flow extending the living into its landscaped surroundings.
Ideally oriented to the north-west, outdoor entertaining captures hours of afternoon sunshine, with a louvre putting shade on standby when the temperature climbs.
From three bedrooms and an office to a four-bedroom configuration, the accommodation can readily shift to suit, with the master featuring an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe.
Offering far more than secure parking, the detached double garage incorporates a sleepout or studio that can turn its hand to guests, hobbies or home-based work beyond the home.
The infrastructure is as extensive as the acreage, with an American-style barn, three-bay garage complex, high-clearance lock-up barn, large utility shed and yards covering an exceptional range of requirements, from parking and projects to rural pursuits.
Position proves another major drawcard, securing a prized Fernside setting with the preschool alongside, the local school just minutes away, and nearby Rangiora putting the wider line-up of shopping, dining and amenities close to home.
A remarkable estate in its own right, the property gives buyers the rare privilege of enjoying it in its entirety while deciding its future.
